Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) capacity will need to increase significantly over the upcoming decades, in order to achieve the net-zero emissions target by 2050. It is forecast that BECCS will need to remove 246 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2030, with that figure surpassing 1.3 GtCO₂e by 2050, if net-zero emissions is to be achieved. In 2020, BECCS capacity worldwide stood at 1 MtCO₂e.
